5.3.8 Output Limiter (Dyn. Screen)
In addition to compression, each HELIX DN9848E output has a limiter to protect any attached
equipment being driven into clip and potentially being damaged. Notably, the HELIX DN9848E uses a
special ‘look-ahead’ limiter so that it can anticipate transient overshoots and act ‘immediately’ (see
Application Notes in HELIX DN9848E manual for further details). The limiter threshold can be adjusted
to accommodate the varying requirements of commercial equipment.
To set the limiter parameters
1 In the Limiter section of the Dyn. screen, select a threshold value in the range –10.0 dBu to
21.0 dBu on the Threshold control knob. The Threshold control knob has an OFF setting at its
full clockwise position (just past the 21.0 dBu setting), which switches the limiter out of the
circuit.
2 Adjust the Release control knob to set a release time between 1 ms and 100 ms.
3 Press the Soft button to select soft or hard knee, as required, where (button
illuminated) shows soft knee is selected and
(button extinguished) shows hard knee
is selected.
To select hard/soft knee

out of the circuit.
